Angry Liverpool FC manager Roy Hodgson calls meeting to discuss side’s defeat at Newcastle
ROY HODGSON staged a Melwood sit-down with his under-performing players yesterday to express his 'anger' and his 'sadness' at Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Newcastle.[LNB]The Liverpool manager called a meeting of his players and staff where he expressed his dismay at the side's 'woeful' away record.[LNB]'I was saddened and certainly angry with our performance because in recent weeks we have shown we are capable of playing good football and we were looking like a very solid and strong unit,' Hodgson rapped after their sixth away defeat in nine matches this season.[LNB]'Even though we got back into the game against Newcastle and then had chances to go in front, because of our capitulation at the end I still wasn't happy with the performance.[LNB] 'I don't think the level of performance was what I was expecting right from the first minute to the 90th minute. There were far too many poor performances and as a result that led to a poor team performance.[LNB]'We've had quite a long get-together with the team on that subject and everyone agreed with me that it was a performance way below our best and we can't afford those type of performances.[LNB]'We had a few right at the start of the season which put us on the back foot and then some good performances got us onto the front foot and that's where we have got to stay.
